Putrajaya

Malaysia

As Malaysia's first Intelligent Garden City, Putrajaya will become a vital development catalyst due to the role it will assume as a model city - as the nerve centre of the nation and an ideal place to live, work, conduct business and engage in sports and recreational activities. Architecturally, Putrajaya will be an indigenous city with a modern look. Planned to the most minute detail, this intelligent garden city will enhance the goal of the nation in nurturing a caring and progressive society. More than 70% of Pj is devoted to greenery and water with 13 different gardens within the city. Lush greeneries and botanical gardens are spread across the landscape and enhanced by large bodies of water and wetlands. Five confluences meet at the north of the city forming a main waterway which flows across the city area. The principle landscape here is the 600-hectre man made Putrajaya Lake while the Putrajaya Wetland and Putrajaya Botanical Garden are also located nearby by. Native wetland plants from over 50 local species were propagated in the 7-hectre Putrajaya Wetland Nursery prior to planting in the wetland cells.
